There should be a way to talk to the Morphic event system, and when
there's not been a UI event processed for N minutes, execute your manual
suspension line.

It should be doable.  Doit "Sensor kbdTest" and press each of these
buttons, recording the ascii code that the buttons emit.  You could then
change the values in ParagraphEditor>>#initializeSpecialKeyShortcuts,
which are currently tuned for the iPAQ.  You can also change what the keys
do, no need to stick with the config I have in there now.  Eventually,
it'll be programmable in a friendly way.
